We were walking out of the confines of the academy for the first time in two years. You could say that we were trapped there, but not really. We were outside for most of the day, battling or rehearsing for contests that the school holds for future coordinators such as Kamilla. Alain had studied to be a battling professor, like Professor Sycamore. He always wanted to study how a trainer's connections with their Pokemon effect the result of a battle. Me and Vivika however, we studied to be battlers, trainers, to face the Pokemon League. Well, I want to face the Pokemon League, not really sure about Vivika. Nobody has a clue about what her motives are.
We got out of the gates, all of us, and the gates of our past two years closed behind us. I was so pumped to get this journey started that I made a rookie mistake and ran straight for the Elite 4 building, which was right next door to the university. I was kicked out right on the spot, but I don't blame them. I met up with the others and we started to head for the plane that was going to take us to Viridian City, because we couldn't all go through Victory Road with such weak Pokemon.
The plane ride wasn't quite exciting. Elliot was complaining the entire ride because he just was itching for battle. It got really annoying after a while, so I decided to shu-
"Why don't you just shut the hell up okay? We get it, you want to battle. You don't have to keep saying it for an hour." Vivika beat me to it. I was surprised, she usually doesn't tell people off, but I guess when it's the person one rank higher than you I guess there's an exception. I wonder what happened when they had to battle each other for the top spot. Must have been an insane battle, I was visiting my parents in Pewter City that day. I was so angry that I wasn't able to see it.
After the plane ride, we all went our separate ways, even me and my friends. Only because we needed to prepare for our journey by going home. I was able to walk with Vivika, she lived in Ecruteak City in Johto, and so she was staying with me until the journey started. Alain and Kamilla would go together until they got to Pallet Town, then Alain would have to catch a boat to Cinnabar Island. It has been built up since the eruption, so a lot more houses were able to be rebuilt.
"Vivika, why didn't you send out Shuppet during graduation? I know you were nervous and everything, but you haven't even seen your Pokemon yet." She just kept walking. We were halfway through Viridian forest at this point and we just gave up on battling trainers and wild Pokemon for now.
"I wanted to wait until my first official battle to send her out, you know?" Vivika held her Poke Ball in two hands, cupped in front of her. She looked pretty nervous about something. She knew that when we arrived in Pewter we could potentially battle Forrest, the Pewter City Gym Leader. Although I wasn't sure if she was even going after gyms. There's this mysterious side to her that nobody knows, and I'm not even sure if she understands it all that well herself. If I could just find out. Someday.
We arrived in Pewter and went straight to the Pokemon Center. We handed over our Pokemon and took a seat by the changing rooms. We were silent for a bit, I have to admit it was a little awkward. Then the thought came into my head that we haven't seen Kamilla for a while. I really hope she's okay. I forgot to mention that after we left the university, Professor Sycamore had given each of us a Holo Caster, something developed in Lysandre Labs in the Kalos region. I heard that the man who developed these also lead Team Flare. That sort of made me worry about these, but I bet their just fine.
About fifteen minutes later our Pokemon were healed up and ready to go. We were headed to my house to prepare for this journey we were about to set on. We got there and went upstairs immediately. We each logged on to our computers and went to our item storage. My parents have given us each ten Poke Balls and ten Potions. Vivika thanked them as we left the house.
We stopped outside when I heard my Holo Caster ringing. I took it out, and it was from Kamilla. I opened it, and what I heard was pretty terrifying:
"Guys, please help me! I'm on Route 1 and these strange woman with fabulous dresses just showed up and are attacking trainers! I'm scared!" It ended. We didn't even need to say anything before we both started to bolt. We ran straight through the city and through the forest, running past every possible opportunity to bulk up our Pokemon. At one point in the forest I thought I had seem something strange, like a little pink flower, but I'm pretty sure I was just seeing things from the adrenaline rush I was getting from running so fast.
We arrived in Viridian City to see Kamilla running towards us with fear in her eyes. She held her Snover tightly in her arms and melted to the ground. Behind her, we noticed the people she was talking about. Two woman, maybe in their late 20s, wearing long white dresses with bright sunglasses and black hair approached us.
"I am Lillian. This is my partner, Jillian." Said the taller one, whose name is apparently Lillian.
"We are admins of Team Eternal. A group of people hand selected from the finest trainers in the world." Said the shorter one, Jillian. I turned towards Vivika, but it didn't seem like Vivika. Her head was down, and there was a strange aura to her. Then she looked up, and it was almost as if she were a different person.
"Freeze!" She shouted, her voice seemed a little deeper than usual. She sent out her Shuppet and it was on. Jillian sent out an Aromatisse while Lillian sent out Sliggoo. Vivika wasn't Vivika. I know that sounds weird, but it just wasn't Vivika. It was like a completely different side to her that nobody had ever seen before.
"Ominous Wind now Shuppet!" Shuppet obeyed, sending a crushing blow of ghastly wind into the faces of its opponents.
"Dragonbreath!" "Dazzling Gleam!" The two Pokemon did what their trainers commanded.
"Phantom Force!" The Shuppet disappeared into the shadows, dodging both attacks as they headed straight towards Vivika. She held out her arms, and it was almost as if she had used the move Protect, because she was unharmed. Shuppet came back behind the two opponents, striking both in the back, defeating them. This Shuppet was very powerful, definitely not an ordinary Shuppet. The two woman took out a strange device are vanished liked particles into thin air. I asked Vivika what had just happened, she seemed like she was back to normal. She said the most shocking thing I think I could have heard anyone say:
"I am an international police officer working to track down Team Eternal. Although, I have no motivation in this form, and so this lead to me having a different personality that comes out when they appear. This other form also gives me special powers. Am I strange?"
Kamilla fainted, and I just stood there in shock from what I just heard.
Vivika was actually awesome.
